LIVING ROOM MEMORIES 28 (November 21, 2006) You turned my wailing into dancing; you removed my sackcloth and clothed me with joy. (Psalm 30:11) Well…I’m not exactly that happy, but I am – for the moment at least – feeling much better than I sounded on my last post. Yesterday and today I was truly […]
Read More...LIVING ROOM MEMORIES 27 (November 15, 2006) It appears my meds are changing – with me not happy and arguing with the doctor. He’s increasing both my mood stabilizer and anti-psychotic. I don’t usually like talking about meds for three reasons: I don’t understand them, I’m not really interested (as long as they work, I’m […]
Read More...LIVING ROOM MEMORIES 26 (November 8, 2006) I hope that my last post didn’t make people think that Christians in general are judgmental and unloving.

Read More...LIVING ROOM MEMORIES 23 (November 1, 2006) I think I’ve now stabilized and won’t have to push forward the doctor’s appointment I have in a couple of weeks. I feel good when I can go through a busy time – a bit of a destabilizing time – and yet stay on top – even though […]
Read More...LIVING ROOM MEMORIES 22 (October 30, 2006) About a week ago, a lady who was obviously in emotional pain called, asking about our support group. She asked me if faith could heal her.

Read More...LIVING ROOM MEMORIES 21 (October 28, 2006) Yesterday’s Living Room group was wonderful! I was so pleased with how it went that today I’m riding a high – quite a difference from where I was only two days ago. We had six new people, making a total of ten around the table. After we had […]
